 +When you can't get access to a vocal booth to record vocals, there are a few different solutions:
 +  - get very close to the microphone and turn down the gain as well as playing with mic placement;
 +  - use a shotgun mic to reject outside sounds;
 +  - or make your own vocal booth!

 +making your own vocal booth; these solutions might give you ideas, even if you don't have as much space as the authors suggest; personally, i have used something very similar to the blanket solution, with several blankets hung on stands: https://www.iconcollective.edu/how-to-make-a-diy-vocal-booth-on-a-budget
